Oh I have been getting a true education on the Social and Technical side of Blogging this morning.
Only a few hours ago I had no idea what DoFollow and NoFollow Blogs were or why that was important to me!
Now I understand why DoFollow is crucial to my Blog’s success, the relevance of link building, page ranking, how to increase my page visibility and popularity with those all important search engines and get a bit more Google Love…
… and if it’s OK with you I’m going to share what I’ve discovered
What is DoFollow and NoFollow and why is it important to you?
Now if you are like me the phrases DoFollow and NoFollow may well go right over your head make your eyes glaze over, but bear with me here because the information I am about to impart is, if you implement it immediately, is going to help the search engines RANK your Blog higher.
The simple explanation of PageRank is that each website that includes a link to your website or deep-links to one of your web-pages is voting for your website or your web-page.
These types of links, are called back-links.
What is a ‘back-link’ and why do you need it?
A back-link is an incoming link posted or created on another site resulting in a clickable link that leads back to your website.
Back-links are one important way that the search engines estimate and measure the popularity of every website. The more popular your site the higher your page rank, and the higher the page rank (from 0 to 10) the better it will rank on Google.
To gain any kind of rank it is imperative that you have back-links and it is essential that your site increases its back-links on a weekly basis.
The greater the quality (higher the page rank) of the website that links to your website the greater the inferred quality of your website.
Therefore getting back-links, especially from high ranking websites, increases your visibility to the search engines and improves your chances for getting closer to Google’s top pages.
OK, if we are clear about that crucial snippet of information (and it took me a while to get it) we can move on to why as a Blogger, it’s important to understand the difference between DoFollow and NoFollow Blogs.
I’ll do my best to keep this clear and simple (I’m no techie, I’m simply doing my best to understand how Blog popularity works and hopefully demystifying things for you at the same time 
A NoFollow Blog is simply a blog that has a code (hyperlink inclusion) that tells search engines to ignore your link. This means that when you comment on another persons blog YOUR blog does not get any credibility or influence and your page rank will not go up.
Now, this was not a malicious act on the part of the coders – it was a strategy set up to helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of page rank advantage by popping an unwanted link on a popular page.
Great for webmasters but this made the essential process of effective link building difficult for honest people too.
So What is DoFollow?
DoFollow is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that dis-allow NoFollow.
So, when you leave a comment on a DoFollow Blog you DO get a back-link that the search engines track to YOUR website (link juice). Furthermore when you own a DoFollow Blog you
And you don’t need to worry about those spammers because you can get PlugIns that prevent spam comments (although you will still need to monitor your comments and approve them manually to keep your comments clear)
Askimet & Si Captcha Anti-Spam will do the job for you.
OK, I hope that is clear.
Now to understand how to utilise DoFollow and increase your link juice and boost your page ranking take a very good look at these two posts
1. Heather Stephens Blog CleverMarketer.com Tells you more about why DoFollow is important to your business and popularity . She tells you what to do to make your Blog a DoFollow and gives you the PlugIns you need.

This Blog is truly a gold mine. I will actually try these tips and let you know how they work out! Thanks again mate.
Nofollow links are one of those subtle things the average internet user will never realize exist or feel impacted by. If you do some SEO however, it’s obviously a big deal. Finding a decent plugin that recognizes these for you was always a bit of a pain, but I will say, if you use Chrome you should check out one called NoFollow Eyes, it’s not obtrusive but does a good job.
Kinda of a out-dated article, but it use to be so, 5-6 years ago, now things a little bit different on the subject NoFollow :]
Thanks Maya, I read your post along with the ones by Heather and James you mentioned. I\’m just getting started and trying to get over the traffic hurdle. The first visitors are the toughest!
John
Do follow is really important as Google counts do follow links in back link this is because to protect spamming.
